Maine Coon kittens & cats in Mesquite, Texas

Meet Twilight, a striking medium-to-long-haired tuxedo kitten with a soft, fluffy coat and bright, curious eyes. With his classic black-and-white markings and charming personality, Twilight is as handsome as he is lovable. He’s full of playful energy, always ready to chase a wand toy or wrestle with a stuffed mouse, but when playtime winds down, he’s more than happy to curl up next to you for some quiet snuggles. Twilight enjoys spending time with his brother Cosmos, especially when they’re chasing each other around the room or cuddling up for a nap. While they don’t need to be adopted together, Twilight does need to go to a home with another young cat or kitten to keep him company and help him continue to grow into a confident, happy cat. With his mix of playfulness, sweetness, and dashing good looks, Twilight is ready to light up your home. We don’t DNA test our kittens, but we think Twilight looks like he could be a Maine coon-type mix. He's likely a domestic lnog hair mix, but "Maine coon" has become synonymous with long haired cats. Most cats in the US are made up of a variety of different breeds, and we think Twilight falls into that category as well. Either way, we know he’s 100% cute! Twilight is too young to be eligible for a full adoption. However, he is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program!  Foster-to-Adopt Program Details We are an all-volunteer, foster-based, non-profit organization We don’t have a physical location; all cats and kittens live in foster homes until they are formally adopted.

Emailed responses often end up in spam folders!  Meet Venus, a long-haired torbie beauty with a personality as vibrant as her stunning coat. As part of the Valentine’s Day litter, Venus is a perfect mix of love and liveliness. Her silky fur swirls with rich shades of brown, orange, and cream, and her bright eyes are always full of curiosity and play. She’s sweet, snuggly, and full of spirit—a kitten who brings both charm and energy to every moment. Venus loves to play and explore, often leading her siblings on little adventures around the room. She’s clever, confident, and always up for a game of chase or a pounce on a dangling toy. But when the fun winds down, she’s quick to climb into your lap, nuzzle into your arms, and purr herself to sleep. Venus would do best in a home with another playful young cat or kitten to keep her company—she’d be thrilled to be adopted with one of her siblings from the same litter. If you’re looking for a kitten who brings together bold beauty, affection, and fun, Venus is ready to make your heart her home. We don’t DNA test our kittens, but we think Venus looks like she could be a Maine coon-type mix. She's likely a domestic long hair mix, but "Maine coon" has become synonymous with long haired cats.

Meet Potato — a lively, affectionate cat with tons of personality and a heart of gold! At 6 years old, he’s playful, quirky, and loves to turn everyday household items into “trophies,” proudly parading them around while singing his own little songs. He’ll keep you entertained during the day and be your loyal cuddle buddy at night. Potato also has a history of urinary crystals, which is well-managed with a prescription diet that he’ll need to stay on long-term to keep him healthy. If you’re looking for a cat who’s equal parts silly and sweet, Potato might just be your perfect match. Personality: Affectionate, quirky, playful Special talents: Trophy collecting, serenading, snuggling Health: History of urinary crystals (managed with prescription food)

Introducing Hercules the Hero! Hercules is a 2–3-year-old purebred Red Maine Coon. Hercules has had a tough life. Used as a breeder, likely caged most of his life, then tossed outside like garbage, this poor boy still loves people. He is a bit shyer than the other Maine Coons but is coming around quickly. He is a bit food protective (not necessarily aggressive), and he loves his food. He is very food motivated and would be easily trained using treats. Hercules gets along with other cats (other than at eating times), but he would happily be an only cat as well. A bit smaller than some of the others, he still has the distinctive Maine Coon ear tufts and face. If you are interested in adopting Hercules, please email us at merlinshoperagdollrescue@gmail.com for an application. He is in a foster home in Ennis, Texas. His adoption fee is $650. Sorry, we do not ship our cats or provide any transportation. All potential adopters should reside in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, or Louisiana. We will not adopt outside of those states. Who We Are: We are a private rescue and privately funded. WE ARE NOT A SHELTER, BUT A RESCUE. A rescue is a PRIVATE HOME and not a public place to visit. Adopters must make appointments prior to visiting foster homes. All of our cats are spayed/neutered, FIV/FELV tested, wormed, de-fleaed, and vaccinated prior to adoption. All cats are considered mixed breeds unless otherwise stated. As a rescue, we often don’t know a cat’s origins, and do our best to guesstimate their breed. This is not a guarantee. We do get purebreds from time to time and that will be stated in their description if known. Adoption Process: We require all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application prior to setting up an appointment to visit with the cat(s). We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. If you email us, we will provide you with an application via email.

Sirius started as a stray in a liter of barn cats. As a kitten he was extra affectionate, but as he grew his windows for affection became one sided and time specific. We got him all the scratching posts, toys and enrichment we could but he constantly became more distant. He’s good with our other cat, in that they play, cuddle, and groom each other. We just had our first child and his distance has evolved to completely avoiding us. He has become extremely aggressive, swatting, hissing and biting us and our other cat and has taken to peeing on everything especially if it belongs to the baby. We are worried that his aggression will escalate to the baby directly.
